Esthetic Rehabilitation with No‐Preparation Veneers Applying BOPT: A Case Report with a 12‐Month Follow‐Up


A 45-year-old female patient was referred to the Department of Cosmetic Dentistry, Damascus University, seeking to improve dental aesthetics. The clinical examination showed a low smile line and microdontia in the maxillary arch.

The treatment plan consisted of applying no-prep veneers with gingival modification, which is described in the biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT) as a gingitage technique.

The gingitage of the sulcus was performed using a yellow ring diamond flame with an inclination of 45 degrees, which causes it to bleed and creates a space between the internal wall of the sulcus and the axial wall of the tooth. After a 12-month follow-up, the gingiva was free of inflammation, recession, and plaque, and there was no increase in probing depth, according to the modified gingival index (MGI), gingival recession index (GRI), Silness-Loe plaque index (PI), and the community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN), respectively.

The porcelain veneers were intact, with no chippings, cracks, and marginal discoloration. The patient was satisfied with her new smile.
